Call for Tutorials

Propose a half-day tutorial and help shape the AIFB 2026 learning programme.

Overview

The International Conference on AI for Biometrics and Forensics (AIFB 2026) invites proposals for half-day tutorials to be held in conjunction with the main conference (Day 1). The tutorial programme aims to provide participants with in-depth, structured introductions to established and emerging topics in AI-based biometrics, digital forensics, and trustworthy forensic systems.

Tutorials are intended for a broad audience, including researchers, practitioners, industry professionals, tool developers, solution providers, and representatives from law enforcement and forensic laboratories. Proposals that combine theoretical foundations with practical methodologies — including tools, technologies, datasets, hardware platforms, and real-world case studies — are particularly encouraged.

Scope

Tutorial proposals should be relevant to the general scope of AIFB 2026 and may address, but are not limited to, the following areas:

  • AI-based methods for biometric recognition and forensic evidence analysis
  • Multimedia, audio, video, and synthetic media forensics
  • Hardware, embedded systems, and device forensics
  • Adversarial AI, robustness, reliability, and validation of forensic systems
  • Forensic data management, analytics, correlation, and reporting
  • Practical forensic tools, platforms, datasets, benchmarks, and equipment
  • Industrial, operational, legal, and policy aspects of deploying forensic AI systems

Tutorial Format

Tutorials should be coherent and educational. Each tutorial will be allocated a total time of 3 hours. As part of the tutorial structure, presentations may cover:

  • Novel, previously published, or work-in-progress research
  • Practical case studies or field reports
  • Tools, platforms, datasets, hardware setups, or operational workflows

All content must be integrated into a unified tutorial programme. Tutorial organisers are responsible for ensuring thematic coherence, appropriate pacing, and educational value of the session.

Submission Guidelines

Tutorial proposals should be submitted as abstract-only proposals and must include the following:

  • Title of the tutorial
  • Names and affiliations of the presenter(s)
  • Abstract (maximum 300 words) describing:
    • Its relevance to the AIFB community
    • Intended audience and expected learning outcomes
    • Any tools, datasets, hardware, or demonstrations to be included
  • (Optional) Links to relevant publications, software, datasets, repositories, or project websites
Note: There will be no formal proceedings for tutorials. Tutorial material may subsequently be submitted to other venues.
